Default Car Cover for winter storage

Just got mine today and wanted to share the info as I've not seen much current info on this topic.

I simply wanted a lightweight cover to keep the dust off the car while sitting in the garage for the winter. Found a cover for $29 that fits surprisingly well and even had free shipping.

If all you need is a dust cover, this is great.

I'd be worried about the kind of material you're getting for $29. You might as well use a sheet.

Can you provide a picture of the fit? Thanks.

I would also appreciate a picture of the fit. When I accessed the link provided, and entered my car model, the $29 cover came up with a sidebar stating "fits a 2014 Audi A7". If this is the size cover they are indeed selling for a 911, it seems like the cover would drape along the floor on all sides.

I wouldn't place on the car unless it breaths. An excellent quality cotton flannel sheets are a good low cost alternative too.

I'm more impressed by those meaty storage hooks that allow you to hang your car on the wall!

Not sure why it says that - said same thing when I ordered mine, but it will fit as shown.

I just got one of these for my 981 Spyder. Really nice! Great storage bag too. Like lingerie for the car!

I have had similar covers and they seem to work fine as dust covers. Hard to pass on that price when it is less then 1/10 if the price for a P-Car branded option.
